The program started this morning as scheduled. I have not hooked it back up to the actual valves, but it was running and switching as it should. There was one anomaly, however. When I tried logging onto the browser interface, I could not get it to respond. I finally logged on via SSH, and shortly after I logged in, the browser finally responded. Is this some setting that I am missing? I can’t find a “sleep” setting or anything that would cause the Apache server to pause.
Any thoughts?

I bought a new 8GB card and burned it with the SPi image. I have unplugged it and moved it several times. I think I had a bad SD card.

I am not using the 64GB SD card, I just mentioned it. I have two different Kingston 16 GB cards and am now trying the second one to see if I have the same problem. So far, it is working OK, but I have not tried disconnecting the power. I will do that today.

I don’t know. I am running the standard SD image that I downloaded. The only thing I did was to set up networking.
I have had problems in the past with SD cards. I used to have a 64GB half size card for my MacBook Pro, but kept getting corrupted, so I quit using.
Could it be my magnetic personality?
I’m going to keep digging around. Thanks for the input.

OK, I re-burned an SD card and re-initialized everything. As long as I shut it down in a proper manner (shutdown -h 0), it comes back up with no problem. However, if I pull the power too soon, it corrupts the SD disk. I understand the need to do this in a proper manner. HOWEVER, there are power glitches in the real world, especially in a crawl space where the OpenSprinkler Pi is located. Compounding this is the fact that the power connection to the Pi is 24 VAC. I suppose I could put a UPS on the 120 side, but that is not a good environment for it, and frankly a waste of a UPS.
Any suggestions? What have others done to avoid this problem?
Thanks for the assistance!

I went to the /root directory and it is completely empty! I think this may be the problem. Somehow all the dot files and config files got zilches. The question is, what caused this? Any ideas?

I just got this and it is a fantastic replacement to my “stupid” controller. I am just exploring all the options, but one thing I can’t find is a way to adjust the run times for each zone. In a program, does every zone have the same run time? If so, a great enhancement would be the ability to adjust run times. I guess I could set a different program for each zone, but I also like to have different programs for different seasons, i.e. spring, summer, fall.
Great product, but if I missed something, I apologize.
